Has anyone else been affected at all by the fighting in Iraq?

My cousin was injured and has to have serious operations, although, he'll never be the same, we're glad he survived.

A friend was there. He suffered shrapnel wounds, lost an arm,and watched two soldier friends die...WE won't go into HOW they died, but we will reveal that they were all on patrol. This young man will never be the same and tells us that there are many other young soldiers who, even though they are very brave, have been gravely affected by this war. We are speaking of bad dreams, loss of limbs, grotesque burns, etc....not to mention those who did not make it.
This has to stop...

He is very lucky to have survived and I will keep him in my prayers. My husband is serving his 11th month of a 15 month tour in Iraq....and that effects me just because he isn't here!!! He had a good friend get injured and another good friend get killed. It is so hard, ignore a lot of these lame people on here...I can't believe how "bad" it is for them. Keep supporting your cousin ....he needs it. Take Care and Happy New Year!

one man from my unit died in iraq. he had a heart attack after a run on the treadmill. luckily, he had a very large life insurence policy, and his widow was able to buy a really nice house and set up college funds for their kids. its not a great as if he were home with them, but they are still taken care of.

Yup, i was rendered deaf in my ear, just one, due to a mortar round. Its not that bad though, i can still hear, just from one ear. I lost a couple of buddies as well, i feel that i got off easy.
